Turtles

Source: Mathematical Circles: Russian Experience by Dmitri Fomin

Problems :Three turtles are walking in the same direction in a row .
First turtle said: there are 2 turtles behind me and no turtle in front of me.
Second said : there is one turtle behind me and one in front of me.
But the last turtle said there are 2 turtles in front of me and two behind as well.
How??
